directions

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spread 1 teaspoon of the oil on a baking sheet.
  • Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each into an 8-inch round on a lightly floured surface. On half of each round, spread some of the beans, then top with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the salsa and 2 tablespoons of the cheese.
  • Fold over the other half of each round, covering the filling, and press the curved edge with your thumb to seal.
  • Lightly brush the tops of the empanadas with the remaining oil, then transfer to the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
